Day 32 ~ Still Standing

It’s awfully windy and cold today. The weather is absolutely dreadful! And as I was speedily running to my warm cozy house as the snow slapped me in the face, I noticed this tree, STILL STANDING. Have you ever stopped to think about what trees go through? No? Well think about it. They endure the harshness of the sun ~ beating of the rain during the summer and the unbearable winter temperatures, yet, they still stand! They don’t curl up in a ball and hide somewhere when faced with adversity, no, they still GROW, still FLOURISH and still STAND. Lord, give me fortitude like that of a tree!
